Neil and I on the 7 Stanes XC course at Traquair, near Innerleithen
20km, 600m climbing, graded mainly red with some black.
5 hours total.
Upsides - 5 hour session is a good endurance build.
We're closer in fitness than the last time we did this route. That time I hardly saw Neal at all, this time he still climbs faster (higher gear) and longer than I do, but not so markedly ... and I do the downhills faster. Dunno how much that is recent practice, how much new bike.
Downsides - the number of riders who passed us, though most of these in the first half so we suspect they were only going up to do the downhill.
Both getting cramp towards end.
Spill count - Neal 3, me 1.
